Confessions

1.Confession: Every great stylist has a bad day now and then when their work is less than perfect. We know it, you know it. Some of us will lie, some of us are really great cover up artists...and some of us never recover to go on. Most stylist I know do what they do because they love it, and are really good at their craft. Some are excellent. Some are just plain artists. Of course, there are those who should not be in the field at all and we know who you are! But for the most part stylist are talented people, who love to do hair and are looking for ways to express our vision. Your hair is our canvas. What you say about our work matters.

2.Confession: I like the attention that doing a great job gives me. I like the ego boost, the enthusiasm, the thrill, and the rush of being accepted and needed. Is that too far off base for the real world? I don't think so. Most people thrive on that same thing, they just express it diverse ways. I express it with my work and my blog. Either you get me, or you don't. If you don't; keep working on it and so will I.

3.Confession: I love doing hair. I love being in charge of how much to cut, and when and knowing that what I do makes a difference in how someone perceives themselves.  People come to me with all their problems, and with my magic wand, I mean comb and shears, I can help them forget their problems, even if it's just for a moment. I can make them feel good, inside and out. What better privilege is there than that?
